I have been a frequent user of CitySearch for years, and have been a Chapel Hill resident for even longer. These two facts have caused me to question the legitimacy of ORAMGES commentary. I have never had any such experience at La Residence in the 10+ years I have gone there to eat and drink; in fact I count it as one of my favorite upscale eateries/bars in the area. The staff have always been professional and helpful to myself and my wife and always make accommodations for our disabled son. The manager, who was unjustly attacked in the aforementioned review, is always friendly and remembers us every time we come there to eat. In regards to the comments made towards the bar business La Residence runs at night I could not disagree any more, as a middle aged professional I believe I would have noticed ""a mix of underdressed overdrinking women, and the most flesh crawling of fratboy perverts"". This simply could not be farther from the truth, I find the atmosphere past midnight to be as tasteful as it is at 8 o'clock at night. I would encourage every person who has not been to La Residence to check out its dinner scene and bar business.
Furthermore, the user makes several quite personal and nasty comments regarding specific members of the staff, leading me to question whether this review was written as some sort of vendetta against the mentioned individuals. This sophomoric personal attack plus the slew of grammatical errors and misspellings make the review cruel and childish, and I urge the CitySearch moderators to remove it from this page.
